DVD Release Date: August 20, 2009 (Australia)
Plot 411: Genevieve thinks she has love and dating all figured out until one guy has her questioning her rules.
Review: Nia Vardalos and John Corbett runite in this rom com that unfortunately fails at pretty much everything. Vardalos plays Genevieve, a florist who is the picture of happiness. She lives her life with one simple rule: never getting into a relationship. Of course, she dates plenty and enjoys being romanced, but her maximum date limit is five. She also has strict rules about what happens at each stage. These rules help ensure the highest levels of enjoyment and least amount of pain for both parties. Corbett plays Greg, a new restaurant owner who has recently been dumped. He thinks Genevieve's rules are interesting and may be just the thing to help him get over his dating failures. I didn't think this movie came together particularly well, even though Vardalos and Corbett were great in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Somehow they were just awkward in this movie and often made weird facial expressions or sounds that weren't all that humorous. Even their supporting cast was weak.
Watch It: Because it's possibly a master class at how not to do a rom com.
Skip It: And re-watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding intead.
